Not quite to your age (mid-40s), but I can’t see myself ever remarrying. The family court system is too biased against men and the risks are too great. My hope is that by the time I am your age I will have made up what I lost in the divorce and be in a good position to retire.

The dealings I still have with the ex are as much drama as I want to deal with at this point.

i could not imagine traveling to cool places and not having a partner to do it with, unless all i was wanting to do was get laid...and having a partner solves that problem too.

being alone is not anything i want or need

If something happens to my wife, I would never remarry. I would sell my home and move in with my son

Hard to say. Im 53 and will have been married 35 years next May. We have known each other since we were children and feel like we have known each other longer than that. I believe that for the most part people aren’t meant to be alone and I or she would eventually find someone else.

This is true but most of these women are masculine and have become like the men they wanted to marry. Not to mention most have a long list of unrealistic expectations.


Not what I'm seeing, but probably situation dependent and many just want to hook up, not get into a serious relationship. I'm referring to women with grown kids and who are financially secure.

That reminds me of an old anecdote...

Wife: "Honey, if I died would you ever get married again?"

Husband: "Well, sure, I guess so. Yes, I would."

Wife: "Would you live in this same house with her?"

Husband: "I love this house. It's home. So, yes, we would live here."

Wife: "Would you keep our bed and sleep with her in our bed?"

Husband: "Our bed is great. It's not very old and it's comfortable. So, yes, I'd sleep with her in our bed."

Wife: "Would you let her use my golf clubs?"

Husband: "No, she's left handed...."

I'm 48, divorced, and said never again. I did meet a great woman I've been with for 4 years. It's possible I'd marry her but right now we don't need to.

Don’t remarry. If you find someone you love in the future then just date forever. No reason to intertwine all your stuff.

My dad remarried at 65 and I begged him not to. Now at 75, his health isn’t great and it’s a whole mess dealing with their estate.

My dad divorced at 42 and never remarried. He said he never would at this point. I think it's been a mixed bag for him. He moved around and traveled a lot, but I think he's been pretty lonely in his older ages.

Great question. My wife died 10 years ago and I'm in my late 60's. It seems absurd to think about remarrying. If the right woman came along, then maybe. But those odds are about like being struck by lightning. I'm fine if that doesn't happen.

Is “jello” code for something?

No, they didn’t. And it’s not even that they have a super unequal amount of assets. It’s just an unnecessary waste of time.

She’s OK. I appreciate that. She has taken good care of my father over the last decade.

It was just unnecessary of them to actually get married. They even dragged us all to a full wedding (her idea).

That's unfortunate, and laws can vary by state, but you're right, untangling all the assets is a mess.


Im a believer in marriage ( obviously), bit as a practical matter, prenuptials help a lot, and not just for divorce.

In my mind the answer is never but only God knows for sure.

I am married with children. I have no intention of ever getting divorced.

My parents are split up when I was in middle school, and I think it’s the worst

That said, once you are divorced, if your kids are grown, and you don’t plan on having any anymore, I just don’t see the point in going through the whole process.

I understand your position, but for some of us, the union under God's blessing is important.

My marriages were, and are, awesome.

I know that isnt always the case for everyone.

45, single, aint doing it again. No way, no how. If I meet a lady and she just wants to hang out and such, fine. No way am I putting my name on any paperwork that can be used against me. No pu$$y in this world is worth that aggravation.


This, word for word, is how I currently feel.

Never say never, but it's not likely.
